    TEHRAN AGAINST NON-REGIONAL NATIONS MEDDLING IN KARABAKH ISSUE

    Iran believes that only regional countries can resolve the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Ali
    Gashgavi.

    "We believe that these sort of conflicts can only be resolved by
    regional countries, all extra-regional countries will only pursue their
    own interests," Gashgavi told a press conference in Baku on Monday.

    Hopefully, "peace and quiet will return to the region on the basis
    of justice," he said.

    With respect to the Karabakh problem, Iran is conducting a fundamental
    policy which respects the principles of territorial integrity and
    sovereignty, the diplomat said.

    The recent visit by Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki to
    Armenia as part of bilateral relations also focused on international
    issues, he said. "Armenia is our neighbor and this cannot be denied,
    however, there are two aspects that can describe our relations:
    firstly, they may not be used against a third country, and secondly,
    these relations can be used to resolve existing problems," Gashgavi
    said.

    Although Iran and Armenia have certain economic projects, Tehran is
    ready to work on similar large projects with Azerbaijan, he said. "We
    do not see any cooperation limits in our relations with Azerbaijan,
    it is a long path that we can advance continuously," he said.
